Drain Flow Services Ltd

Alex turned up at the appointed hour ( within 2hous of a call) jetted the drain and cleared the blockage. Very professional service. He quoted a sum over the phone and charged what had been quoted with no hidden extras, which is refreshing as others quoted by the half hour and if machines were needed then there would be additional charges so the oral quote was just a starting point.

Alex and his team always arrive on time and finished the job quickly. They did a great job on my blocked underground drains and everything was working perfectly once the job was completed. Great friendly and reliable service. Thanks all.

Alex and colleague jetted a rainwater pipe to clear a blockage, but it was clear the pipe needed replacing. They undertook that work later in the week, working to a high standard and leaving the area they worked looking as if they hadn't been there. Great service delivered as they promised. Thanks!

Brilliant service. Fast response and excellent work. Highly recommended. Left the area clean and tidy. Really great work!

Massive thanks, came and fitted a new soak away system. Fast and reliable and left the area clean and tidy, would highly recommend.

Came to clear blocked gulley in patio. Alex arrived at the agreed time. Did the job swiftly and was careful not to track mud into the flat. Gave me good advice about getting other tenants to contribute to the bill. Invoice was exactly as quoted. Would definitely use again.

Alex and John came round the day after I contacted them to sort out a blocked drain. They did an excellent job. My drains are over 100 years old and haven't been flushed since I moved here over 30 years ago. The drainpipe coming down from the roof was solid and I was concerned that I would need new pipework, but fortunately Alex and John used jets to free the drain pipe and the drains. They were friendly, honest and did a thorough job in less than an hour - I couldn't recommend them more highly.

The external drain collecting the outflow from my kitchen and that of a neighbour was overflowing. I called Drain Flow Services as we previously had tree roots breaking into the drains and obstructing them. Alex visited the next day and cleared the blockage. A CCTV inspection of the pipes confirmed that they were intact and unaffected by roots. The team were efficient and friendly. The work was explained and the video of the pipes was played back to me. The price was clearly explained as was the cost of the CCTV inspection, which was done at my request. I had a problem with rattling pipes in my bathroom, which Alex looked at free of charge and identified as being due to a u-bend drying out.

I would 100% recommend Alex at Drainflow Services. Yesterday he changed a soakaway from draining into my garden to drain into the main sewer. This is not the first time Alex has put in new sewer pipes and drains for me, he also did sewer works for two new toilets earlier this year. On both occasions I was really pleased with how neat and tidy the jobs were done. He was really precise cutting through the existing concrete, only channelling out the absolute necessary space for the work to be done. The concrete that was laid afterwards when the new pipes were in had been done perfectly. I didn't have to wait long for either the quote or the work to be done. The quote was better than expected on both occasions. The clearing up after the work was excellent. Everything was left neat and tidy, the left over rubble was bagged and stacked aside safely and collected this morning. There was no extra clearing or cleaning for me to do. Alex is a very pleasant cheerful man and just gets on with the job in hand. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone in the future.

Can’t thank Alex and John for all their hard work sorting out our completely collapsed huge drainage system and rainwater pipes. Your work was faultless, seamless and you are both so lovely to have around. My builders are sooo impressed with you both and want to work further with you. Your quote is fair, detailed and your level of expertise, tidiness and service - second to none. Thank you for being so kind and helpful and squashing all my fears. Can’t recommend more highly

Having left a message late in the evening, Alex returned my call and was at the property the following day and successfully cleared the blocked drain. He was very polite, helpful and kindly updated me once he had completed the work. I would definitely recommend Drain Flow Services Ltd, as they are extremely professional, efficient and respond to problems very quickly.

Alex and his colleague were excellent, they turned up as expected to camera my drains and were thorough in their work with a genuine desire to resolve the issue for me. We agreed on the remedial work, their return visit was again as expected and they efficiently supplied and fitted a drain valve. Polite and professional, I would recommend them.

Service was great. Alex & colleague came on time, with a friendly smile. He used specialist equipment to flush & clear the outside drain. Didn’t take long & I would definitely use his services again.

Alex came to look at my blocked gully which I thought needed repair. He cleaned it, then put a camera down and showed me that there was cement at the bottom of the gully, and leaking joints, as well as the broken drain that I could see. He quoted me a price, and did the job over two days, well within the time he said it would take. Everything was finished to a high standard and there was no mess, although he had to dig a trench. Rubble was taken away and I now have peace of mind. Alex is efficient and courteous, helpful without being pushy, and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Alex came and cleared our blocked drains. Quick turnaround from getting in contact. Good price and helpful advice about managing issues and likely costs of further remedial work if required in the future. No qualms about recommending to others.

I called Alex to unblock a drain at my elderly mother's house. He came the following day and used a high pressure jet to unblock it, also analysing what the likely problem is (roots in drain). He and his coworker were polite and efficient. Fair price.

I cannot recommend Alex and his company highly enough. Came the following day, resolved the issue with minimal fuss and no mess. Would highly recommend.

Really pleased with the service received. Mine wasn’t a straightforward problem due to access but Alex and his colleague did everything they could and went out of their way to resolve the issue and were successful in unblocking the pipes and drain. Quick to respond, efficient and professional. Would definitely call again in the future.

Called at 10am, problem with a blocked drain solved by 2pm. Excellent team - polite, friendly and efficient.

Had an awful odour coming through our sink and shower drain in one of our bathrooms. Alex attended promptly as arranged, did a diagnostic and gave his honest feedback. Suggested options and I felt fully informed. There was no undue pressure at any stage. After Alex attended on another day, jet-washed our drains and the odour has vanished! Very thankful to Alex; we’ve probably saved a small fortune trying to find the odour source from inside the bathroom. Highly recommend Drain Flow Services!

Excellent professional service. Totally reliable. Tidy efficient work which you can completely trust.

Due to some unpleasant smells I contacted Alex and arranged a date for a drain survey. This was carried out when Alex was keen to show me what the camera was highlighting so I could see the problem for myself. Having finished the survey, they then flushed the drain to remove debris. Alex explained what repair work was required for which he provided a quote. This then carried out a couple of weeks later for the agreed price.

I would highly recommend this company. They turned up prepared and carried the work out to a high standard. Every action they took was explained thoroughly in laymen’s terms and the reason for it. Also, they were polite and friendly. After finishing they left the area tidy. Job well done.

Alex was an absolute dream! Having called at 6pm on Wednesday about getting a drain survey for a property we're looking to purchase - he was able to move some things around and fit us in by 9.30am the following morning to ensure we kept our journey to exchange on track. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Would definitely use again and recommend.

I phoned 1st thing this morning and got a call back very soon after. He arranged to visit between 2/3pm today and quoted a price. He arrived as planned. We had a blocked drain which he efficiently dealt with and was very helpful. He even checked with a neighbour to make sure her toilet/taps were working ok before he left. Very impressed and would definitely recommend.

Alex was the third person I had to call out for drainage problems and bad smells. He carried out camera work and jetting . He was the only person who really solved my drainage issues and it was a difficult time when you have bad smells in your home. I thoroughly recommend him. He is honest and polite.

Had a blocked drain. They arrived on time, sorted the problem effectively and efficiently, checked it was all working and cleaned up afterwards! Would definitely use again.

This is the second time I've used Alex in four years to clear a blocked drain and the first thing to say is that he's a really nice, friendly guy. He knows what he's doing, does it with a smile on his face and is thoroughly professional. Today, he took one look and despite the drain being more severely backed up than we suspected, he just got on with it and stuck to the pre-agreed, very reasonable price. And he didn't just do the bare minimum, he went out of his way to trim some roots that were contributing to the blockage, without any fuss or talk of paying him extra. Other traders might have left those so they could get more work in the near future. He says he's been clearing drains for 20 years and I think that shows.

We were impressed from start to finish with our interactions with Alex regarding our blocked drain. He was professional and responsive, explained what he was going to do with the CCTV and what he found. As well as doing a great job, it was a pleasure to have Alex on the premises. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or use his services again in the future. A very positive experience in every way.

Arrived on day and time promised. Very efficient and friendly. Tried to minimise the work and cost rather than inflating.

Provided professional and quality service. Friendly and transparent. Quality workmanship. Would recommend.

I would highly recommend Drain Flow services limited as Alex was reliable and efficient in the work carried out. He explained the work he was doing and have total confidence that the solutions put in place are worthwhile and we now have peace of mind.

Alex was quick to respond to my query and made a plan to come out immediately to assist with my blocked drain. It was an urgent call out and I am glad that Alex was able to accommodate me in between appointments. Alex fixed the problem very quickly and was professional in the way he carried out his work. I would highly recommend Alex.

Alex from DrainFlow came promptly to deal with an overflowing drain. He got to work and cleared the blockage with no problems.

Alex was recommended to me because of a pest issue and a broken foul drain. He was so helpful and reassuring and came out quickly to do a CCTV drain survey for me, explaining in layman's terms what we were seeing on the screen, installed two steel rat flaps to the front and back of my property and also cleared out a rainwater drain to a soakaway that was blocked. I wanted to check my drains for any root incursion and also any further cracks - happily they were all intact! He came back a second time to replace my broken clay waste pipe with a plastic one which involved digging up my concrete path, and then re-concreting it afterwards, which he did extremely neatly. He took photos of his work underground as he went along so he could show me what he had done. It was such a relief to finally find a reliable, trustworthy, helpful and knowledgeable tradesman after previous disastrous encounters with a large plumbing company. I have no hesitation in recommended DrainFlow Services and Alex to others.

I chose Drain Flow Services Ltd because of their locality and good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. They were extremely helpful, efficient and professional. In particular, I admire their honesty and friendly approach. I would not hesitate in recommending their services.

Work was more involved than was first thought due to very shoddy previous drive company. All work explained and carried out to an exemplary standard.

I called Alex on the 23rd September 2020 to arrange an appointment to clear the blocked sewer at the front of my house. Alex and his team were prompt in arriving at the appointed time on Thursday 24th September, and not only checked all of the manholes (5) but promptly cleared the the blocked sewer. The cause of blockage was from some cement that had fallen into the sewer from when I had a new driveway installed last year. The charge for this work was very reasonable. I can thoroughly recommend Drain Flow Services.

Alex has been doing my drains for me for years - he always comes when he says he will, is always very friendly and good at explaining things to a lay plumbing person, and he always does a good, thorough job, no mess. I definitely recommend him as one of the people who make life a little bit less stressful.

Called Alex because our kitchen drain had blocked up, causing the drain to spill out over our front garden. He was very courteous and arrived at the time arranged. He was friendly, very efficient and explained fully the works that was required and the cost. He carried out the work efficiently, safely and removed all debris, leaving the area clean. Would definitely recommend his services and use him again without hesitation.

We called Alex as we were experiencing problems with the water levels in our toilets after they were flushed. Alex was easily contactable and arrived quickly within a couple of hours of us phoning. He was extremely polite and considerate. Having inspected our drains and finding that there was a problem at the boundary of our private and shared drains, he suggested we contact Thames Water. Alex wanted to ensure that we could have our problem fixed free of charge by our water supplier if possible and did not suggest carrying out work himself which may not have solved the problem and which we would have had to pay for. Alex was correct with his advice as Thames Water found a blockage in the main drain which they removed free of charge. I would happily recommend Alex to anyone who is experiencing problems with their drains.

I always try my best to use Which Trusted Trader to recommend an honest and trustworthy trader. As all the ones I have used so far I woukld recommend. I had severe blocked drains, bathrooms, appliances, kitchen sinks, showers etc. I chose Drain Flow service because of the good reviews and business was in same area as where we lived. Alex corresponded efficiently at all times and arrived on scheduled date and assessed the situation. I must say he was very professional and honest in his services and recommended the best options without having to do a full CCTV survey. He carried out the job, cleared the block drainage with water jet blaster and other plumbing tools. He also cleared three of the showers and bathrooms, which had poor draining over the last few months. Now we can have longer showers without worrying water overflowing from the shower tray. Alex was always friendly, helpful and polite and always recommended best approach in maintaining his job. The service charges were very good for the amount of work Alex carried out. He also maintained social distance at all times due to Covid-19. Thank you Alex.

I contacted Drain Flow Services as it was recommended on this site because I thought I had a collapsed drain. Alex responded quickly, quoted the price of a CCTV survey and arrived on time. He examined the piece of material which looked like a black broken pipe which had blocked the drain and said it was calcified scale. He then carried out a full CCTV survey of the house drainage and the drain down to the road. He showed me the screen (being careful to observe social distancing) to show that it was clear and that there were no other potential scale blockages. Very knowledgeable, friendly and professional service.

Alex responded quickly to our request for a CCTV drain survey. He was friendly, competent and reliable and left everything very tidy . We would recommend him and use him again.

There was a faint smell of sewage in our conservatory, we suspected an almost totally blocked drain, from the kitchen sink, was the possible problem. Alex did a methodical and professional survey of our drains, using a camera and video. Identified the problem, and fixed it. This was fast and very beneficial workmanship and good value for money. I would highly recommend Drain Flow Services.

I found Drain Flow's details on Which Trusted Traders and was very happy that I did. We had a problem with the office drainage system involving a build up over years of waste in the various drains on the premises with the added difficulty of vermin accessing the drains. From the get go Alex was a pleasure to deal with. He was professional, knowledgeable in his field, kept me up to speed at each stage of the process and carried out each element of the work as planned, on time and on budget. He provided CCTV of the extent of the problem before the flushing and then CCTV images of the final result. Everything went according to plan and we've been trouble free since his work was completed. I have no hesitation at all in using him again at any of our other premises nor recommending him to anyone else either for commercial or domestic use.

Unfortunately, the outside drain running from my kitchen became blocked with 'gunk' that had accumulated over several years. The problem reared it's head during the Coronavirus 'lockdown' so I was a little concerned that I may not be able to find anyone to attend quickly. I need not have worried, Alex, the proprietor, visited promptly following my call and took all appropriate social distancing measures during his visit. I have noted his contact details in case I need him again and I have no hesitation in recommending Drain Flow to others. Alex is professional, efficient and polite and left he everything clean and tidy. A job well done.

I called Alex for a blockage under a rainwater down pipe. He carefully looked into it and while we were ready for it to be an extensive job, he established that it was debris that he could clear with a jet of water. The problem was solved quickly, the bill was very reasonable and Alex and his mate left everything very tidy. Recommended

Alex and his team were excellent. I was really stressed about an issue with our sewer pipes which was causing issues in the house. He was courteous and clearly had a good knowledge of the problem and how to fix it. It’s hard to find people you can trust and I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to you.

After having on going issues with blockages at my property I decided to contact a different company for a second opinion, Alex from drain flow services arrived at my property within 24hrs of me phoning and found the issue straight away, he said the old chamber was damaged and did not have the right fall to allow the drainage to run away, he replaced the foul chamber the next Day and replaced my block paving on my driveway perfectly. I had previously used another well known company who was clearly just happy with me calling them up to clear the blockage 3 times a year. I don’t leave reviews often but in this case I thought I would because they know what they are doing and they do it well.

I've used Alex twice for a recurrent drain issue - he is very quick and efficient even on a horrible rainy day. He comes when he says he will and does a very good job with a smile. I'd definitely recommend.

Read previous reviews, as my neighbour's experience with a major cleaning company wasn't positive and he was charged an extortionate sum. Located Alex and Drain Flow Services Ltd from Which? Trusted Traders and having read previous reviews, plus seeing the nearby Council endorsement, I made contact, arranged the appointment and Alex was on time as planned. HE completed his work, explained the issues and the resolutions for my blocked gullies and took away all of the debris he'd removed. This took about and hour or so and he stuck to the price he had quoted and it was good value. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I am the building manager of a large commercial and residential mixed estate. Alex has been doing our drainage cleaning twice a year for almost 3 years. He always arrives on promised time, and finishes the job. He is very reliable, helpful, friendly and affordable. Highly recommended! Halil 04/10/2019

Alex came to pressure flush all the drains and gulleys in the block of flats. Furthermore a CCTV survey was carried out to inspect a collapsed drain. Alex turned up at the arranged time and proceeded immediately with the work in a professional and friendly manner. Welcomed advice was also given as to the action to be taken with the collapsed drain. Will use again.
